AN INITIATIVE OF THE FLORIDA LAND MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE

LAND MANAGEMENT IN

Nearly half of the state of Florida is made up of forests, including both publicly managed and privately owned lands.

Prescribed fire is an essential tool to managing these lands, sustaining the ecosystem and protecting homes and businesses from catastrophic wildfire.
